Gold! Continents have been discovered, wars fought, works of art created - indeed, history has been shaped by this rare and beautiful metal that has captured man's fancy.
Ruth Brindze, author of the highly successful The Story of Our Calendar, The Story of the Totem Pole, etc., relates the exciting story of gold from the time it first attracted the observing eye of primitive man in a faraway stream of water to the present stock-pile at Fort Knox in Kentucky. Dramatic, colorful, rewarding, this is the story of civilization revealed in the story of gold.
The magnificent illustrations by Robert Bruce make this an outstanding example of book-making.
